The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, Miami
Think pink, but make it polished. Tucked into the lush calm of Coconut Grove, The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, Miami offers a Galentine’s-ready cabana experience designed for lingering afternoons and well-timed selfies. Groups of up to six can settle into a private UNA Vodka Cabana, complete with blush-toned seating, shaded curtains, and cocktails infused with floral, Latin-inspired notes.
The details do the heavy lifting: UNA Vodka Frosés, a chef-selected sweet and savory three-tiered tower, a lychee mule pitcher finished with Maldon sea salt, and thoughtful extras like tabletop games and valet validation. Prefer something lighter? The Lounge Cabana swaps spirits for Prosecco, a VIP fruit tower, and curated snacks, with full pool access and a dedicated server throughout the day.
For those who believe February should be about restoration as much as celebration, the on-site spa rounds out the experience with facials, massages, and Valentine’s-themed treatments that feel indulgent without tipping into excess.
